U.N. Population Fund sanctions forced abortion in China

U.N. Population Fund sanctions forced abortion in China

Date published: 4/6/2003

Thank you for printing the truth about UNFPA-supported coercion in China ["Rep. Davis: Champion of women, opponent of UNFPA funding," March 21].

The United Nations Population Fund and its pro-abortion allies seek to misrepresent the State Department findings showing UNFPA support of forced abortion in China.

Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, was the first American social scientist permitted in China. He has testified before Congress many times, and his testimony is true.

One thing all Americans should agree on is that forced abortion is wrong. It is unconscionable that UNFPA and its allies would support forced abortion in China with funding and technical and surgical support, then seek to cover up not only their support but also the coercion.

Thank you also, Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis, for defending women's rights and for opposing forced abortion. Indeed, the world would be a much better place if there were more members of Congress like Jo Ann Davis.
